AN OCEAN TRAGEDY.

The Steamer cargo" Runs Against the
Rocks.
New YORK, March 5.-The steamship
''Ozama," Captain Kelly, which arrived yes
terday from San Domingo, reports that the
German bark "Argo," last from st. Thomas,
went on the rocks under Fort Picket, be.
came total wreck and was sold. The Gar
go's" unluoky voyage proved fatal to heI
shippers. Captain Stick died on the voyage
from Rangoon to Rio Janeiro; the mate
who assumed command died in Rio Janeiro,
and the second mate then took charge of the
vessel. Two captains had died on board
in one voyage, and the sailors, naturally
superstitious, began to think that fate had
marked the bark and her commanders for
destruction. Day after day of a pleasant
voyage up the coast passed, storms
seemed unknown and they recovered
their wonted spirits, when Cape Hay
ten came into view on February Is.
The captain stood at the wheel. Suddenly
there was bump and grinding and wrench
ing, which told that the Cargo was on the
rocks. She had struck on the OUTER reef.
Then the third and final tragedy of the
Argos" last voyage was enacted. The cap
tain rushed below, returned with revolver
in his hand, leaped to the rail, placed the
revolver at his head, fred and without cry
toppied overheard. No trace of him was
seen again. As soon as the crew recovered
from their horror they took to boats and
rowed ashore. Hardly had they landed
when looking back they saw the cargo"
glide off the rocks with all the sails set and
no one aboard. For half hour che bruised
in the harb0r and then struck the rocks
again, this time to stay until broken. The
crew returned to Germany on ship which
sailed soon after.

Had the Devil In Him

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, March IA special from
Huntsville, Missouri, says: James @. Good
win, a rich farmer residing several miles
southwest of this city, arose from his bed at
O'Clock yesterday morning and said to his
wife that the devil was in him, and he in
tended to kill her. She told him TO come
back to bed and behave himself, but pur,,
saant to his threat, he seized boot and
commenced striking her about the head SO
violently that she became insensible, and
soon died from the effects of the blows, He
then passed into the next room and told his
little son that if his mother did not awake at
the usual time in the morning to arouse the
neighbors. He then passed out to the wood
shed, secured rope and went to the barn
and hanged himself. Goodwin had hitherto
lived an exemplary life, and temporary in
sanity, induced by domestic troubles, doubt
less caused him to take his wife's and his
own life.

take action in regard to the designation Of
additional reserve cities under the recent
act of congress authorizing such designation
when requested by three-fourths of the ma

leges are desired. He will do nothing, he
says, until he has received q certified copy

expects to SEQ this in few days and will
make arrangements for the speedy execu-
ton of the law.

No Resolutions.

CHICAGO, ILL, March IAN extraord-
mary scene took place at the weekly meet
ing of the Congregational ministers this
morning. The topic which came up was the
sickness from which Henry Ward Beecher
is believed to be dying, and the statement
of some OF the pastors present took the shape
of resolutions of coincidence, which it was
proposed to send to Mrs. Beecher by tele-
graph. This was opposed by q number of
ministers, the opposition being based on the
alleged heterodo1y of Beecher's views re-
garding future salvation and punishment.
An acrimonious debate ensued, and finally
Great excitement prevailed, and the utmost
efforts were made TO keep the affair from the
newspapers.

Old Saxon Words.

| Gentleman's Magazine.
''Caboose' was formerly the name OF
the galley OF kitchen of small merchant
men. Falconer spells it ''coboose," and
describes it as sort of box or house to
cover the chimney of some merchant
ships. Previous to the introduction of
the caboose the furnaces for cooking
were in three deckers placed on the
middle deck; in two-decked ships, in the
forecastle; and adds my authority (the
anonymous author of a treatise on ship
building, written in 1901, "also in all
ships which have forecastles, the provi-
sions are there dressed" "Cudd =" is a
forcible, old fashioned word that has been
replaced by the mincing, affecting term

fed "a sort OF cabin or cock-room in the
forepart or near the stern of lighter or

Cleveland Lsadsr.
Mr.. Ccrcoran gives a sraat da., n,
pnvsse charity, and Ike all rich men he
receives bushels Of applications for
money which he cannot grant. He has
. printed form Of reply, which state that
he II unable to meet all these dem.nd.
and that his agent is directed not n nr,.
sent them to him. Some of the 49,.
he receives are curious ones. One vo-
man wrote not long ago that although
her husband was worth $4,000 aha
wanted to be Independent of him. and
wanted Oorcoren to send ber enouob
money 30 that she could live ON the IN
terest. Another lady wanted Sc, 900 10
be used in European travel. Another
wanted pink silk dress for ball, and
another wanted barrel Of salt pork.
Flour and provisions are often asked for.
and applications for money come from
all parts Of the country.
A great many Of these appeals come
nom people Corcoran has never known
and never heard of, and although num-
Der OF them are undoubtedly from people
IN eed, many are Adventures, and the
majority are undeserving. The publica-
ton OF this article will doubtless bring
more letters to Mr.. Corceran, as does
every letter concerning his wealth. The
article In the press concerning rich men
and charitable men point out to sdven-
tuners all over the country where these
men live, and the notes printed not long
ago about President Cleveland's charity
hiied the white house letters with beg
ging applications for months. The rich
men OF congress are overrun with beg
gars, who apply to them both by mail
and In person, and there seems to be a
population of thousands of beggars in
the United States who do nothing but
watch the newspapers and write letters
o the rich men named in them.
